Abstract

An object of the present invention is to provide a composition that leaves few residues in a case where the composition is brought into contact with a Ru-containing substance to perform an etching treatment on the Ru-containing substance, and to provide a method for treating a substrate. The composition according to an embodiment of the present invention contains one or more periodic acid compounds selected from the group consisting of a periodic acid and a salt thereof, a quaternary ammonium salt represented by Formula (A), and a trialkylamine or a salt thereof.
